Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, Barrick Gold - Enthusiasm for gold is back
Despite several interest rate hikes, the price of gold has recently risen to over USD 2,000 again. Even though the latest increase coincided with the attack on Israel, this is unlikely to be the reason for it. Instead, the high demand from central banks is responsible for the steady gold price. Within the first 9 months, the central banks bought a whopping 800 tons of gold. That is a new record. The geopolitical tensions could also turn more and more private individuals into so-called gold bugs, who are making provisions for crises and assuming that gold will continue to rise in the long term. As the Fed has paused interest rates, this could give the gold price a further boost.

Caution: New Corona wave ahead? BioNTech, Pfizer, Cardiol Therapeutics and MorphoSys on the performance test bench
Smouldering lawsuits from vaccinated patients experiencing severe side effects have caused investors to doubt BioNTech and Pfizer in recent months. Will the plaintiffs be successful in court? This is rather unlikely, as the vaccine manufacturers can always invoke the time component in the fight against the pandemic. After all, what the WHO and all governments wanted was delivered: A quick solution! Moreover, these vaccines were finally approved by well-known health institutes. The biotech investment segment will become exciting again as winter approaches. The infection figures with the new coronavirus variants are rising noticeably again, and around 15% of the population wishes to get vaccinated. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Cameco, GoviEx Uranium, Nel ASA - The coast is clear
According to political plans, Germany wants to become climate-neutral by 2045, while the US has set itself this target for the middle of the current century. These targets are to be achieved through the use of renewable energies, heat pumps, electromobility and electricity and hydrogen networks. Outside of Germany, nuclear power is still being maintained, without which the climate targets could not be achieved, according to experts. While the price of uranium has climbed to a new 13-year high in recent weeks, renewable energy companies have been stumbling from one annual low to the next. Now, a bottom seems to be forming, at least in the short term.

These shares are right on trend - BYD, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall
After the correction of recent weeks, the DAX was able to send a positive signal for a year-end rally by exceeding the 15,000-point mark. Despite the escalating events in Gaza, the world's stock markets appear to be heading north. They are receiving a tailwind from monetary policy. This could mean the end of interest rate hikes for the time being. The badly battered companies in the technology sector, in particular, are likely to benefit from this.

GreenTech shares are on the rise! Siemens Energy, Altech Advanced Materials, Nordex and JinkoSolar under scrutiny
After months of selling off, Greentech shares are making a comeback. By late fall, popular hydrogen and solar stocks had lost between 50% and 85% of their share prices from the boom times of 2020/21. Now, everything points to a rebound. Battery innovator Altech Advanced Materials is also coming up with good news. If everything goes according to plan, lithium-ion technology could soon see a dramatic increase in efficiency. We take a look at the bombed-out sector and where the opportunities lie for investors.

BioNTech and Bayer under pressure - Defence Therapeutics, on the other hand, with good results. Where is it worth investing?
There are currently big losers in the pharma and biotech sector among the companies that were the biggest beneficiaries of the Coronavirus Crisis. Sales at Pfizer/BioNTech are plummeting, and the entire sector is under pressure. In addition, there are patent disputes and increasing cost pressures from health insurance companies, especially in Europe. There are also high bureaucratic hurdles in the EU, meaning that more and more specialists prefer to emigrate to North America. Bayer's pharmaceuticals division is doing well, but the Company is struggling with the legal disputes surrounding the Monsanto takeover. In contrast to the first two companies mentioned, the news from Defence Therapeutics is consistently positive. We examine where it is worth getting in.

Hydrogen is back: Nel ASA, Plug Power with 50% potential. What are Shell and Saturn Oil + Gas up to?
Things have moved quickly. Last week, the DAX 40 index scratched the 14,600-point mark, but yesterday, it was close to the 15,200 hurdle in heavy trading. This is a dream situation from a chart point of view, as the market was able to bid farewell to the short scenario with the central banks taking a breather and presented an ecstatic rebound. Hydrogen stocks Nel ASA and Plug Power, which had been beaten up for a long time, made strong gains yesterday, while oil stocks Shell and Saturn Oil & Gas consolidated at a high level. How long will the hydrogen rebound last, and what is next for the energy sector? We do the math.

14 million e-cars in 2023 alone: BYD, Standard Lithium and Defense Metals profit
In the current year, one in every five vehicles sold is expected to have an electric drive, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). This would amount to 14 million vehicles and correspond to a growth of around 35% compared to the more than 10 million sold in 2022. Opportunities for investors lie dormant along the entire value chain of electromobility. BYD aims to capture a significant portion of these sales figures and replace Tesla as the number one player in the electric vehicle sector. While Warren Buffett is selling again, analysts are advising to buy. Standard Lithium and Defense Metals are benefiting from the rising demand for batteries. Both companies have exciting projects with compelling economic calculations and alleviate concerns about China potentially using lithium and other resources as a "weapon." So, is it time to buy?

K+S, First Phosphate, Volkswagen - Phosphate: From fertilizer to high-tech application
Phosphate is an important nutrient for plants and animals and is used in agriculture as a fertilizer. It is also used in the food industry as an additive. Recently, however, the raw material has been needed in the high-tech environment. Battery manufacturers have an increased need for phosphate to produce lithium iron phosphate batteries, which are already used in some electric vehicles. The phosphate content in these batteries contributes to their stability and durability. If this technology becomes standard in all electric vehicles, demand will increase dramatically. So today, we take a look at fertilizer producer K+S, introduce a future producer in First Phosphate, and look at how Volkswagen is progressing in the area of electromobility.

Surprise after Q3 figures: Deutsche Bank, Microsoft, Desert Gold, Siemens - Good Chart Technique and a boost from AI?
The ECB has paused its interest rate adjustments for the first time in 12 months. It is not surprising, as a declining economy is currently causing inflationary pressures to subside somewhat. Because of the numerous geopolitical conflicts, gold has surpassed the USD 2,000 mark again after a long consolidation period. And then there are the many quarterly figures. It is good for those who can keep track of them all. We look at new developments with Deutsche Bank, Microsoft's entry into the German corporate AI market, and the excellent opportunities at the explorer Desert Gold.
